Basket Door Hanger

For a pretty May Day door hanger you will need a paper plate, green construction paper, ribbon, scissors, fake flowers, and glue. Start by cutting the plate in half. Add glue to the curved edges of the plate and press them together. This will create the bottom of the basket. Then cut several sheets of green paper into strips.

Use the scissors to give the strips a grass like look. Do this by cutting lines vertically in the strips, but do not cut all the way through. Then glue the strips horizontally along the top edge of the basket. Add more strips overlapping the first one. Keep adding more strips until the entire basket is covered.

When the grass has dried, cut a hole in each side of the basket. Then add ribbon so you can hang your basket. Place some fake flowers inside the basket, and your May Day decoration is done.
